Air Cheif said that Pakistan will get first 4 F-16's in june, and 4 jets per month after it, so june+july+aug+sep+oct+nov+dec 4+4+4+4+4+4+4=28!

...as a matter of fact u have no other choice neither u have enough budget to go for more nor u have other options available ,you cant buy an 80million Rafale nor u can buy 100 million EF200 ...........
Agreed. But celebrating 14 used F-16 is really immature by some Pakistani posters. I agree with Indian poster Atmi Chuza who wrote"
"As an Indian I don't care how many F-16's US keeps giving you. these are like bones US throws at you to calm you down. India does not need to worry about 20-30 extra jets in PAF . "
The attitude being shown by some Pakistani members without taking into consideration the reasons behind acquiring of these jets even though US is not a friend of ours is very disgusting.
But can be expected from people who have limited vision, especially in matters of strategic defence.
Would have been better if they had sat down, thought about PAF, its condition, the threat its going to and is facing, the requirement of PAF, its infrastructure, its long history with F-16s and the future expected layout of PAF.
Iran being an arch enemy of US, still got weapons through official back channel, because Iran was fighting for its own survival as its military was US equipped. But they showed wisdom and got weapons from US to fight off an aggressor and learned their lesson and embarked on path of self sufficiency.
Similarly, when we started our collaboration with China through JF-17 program and the acquisition plan for FC-20s, it was clear that PAF has learned its lesson, but as we are facing one large enemy, anything even from unfriendly US should be and is welcomed as it will make the imminent and more threatening enemy think twice before attacking.
Anyway, a very disgusting attitude by some of our very own. Criticizing was the easy part, but giving solutions wasn't as there is none in the short run.And repeating the & agreeing with the line which the Indian member used, was even worse then Pakistan going again for US F-16s, pathetic.
Bhai Ji, I was asking about the Israel offering to sell to Pak.
Is there a link to this press conference?
Khan Ji, maybe its my age, or my experience, or my little knowledge of history that I could tolerate to be called a Dog while you could not. But being called a Dog and accept it as such not in literal but indicative meanings(though I did condemn the generalization) is less pathetic and disgusting than the undeniable fact that our successive regimes have indeed been acting like the Dogs of the USA. It’s the nature of a Dog to sacrifice itself for its master in return of very little or not at all; this definitely is not the behavior of a partner or an ally. We offered our unilateral services to our American masters back in 1950s and 60s (there was a reason why self-proclaimed FM Ayub had to pen down ‘Friends not Masters’ , in 80s and now in 2000s in return of nothing but harm to our own country.Anyway, a very disgusting attitude by some of our very own.

And repeating the & agreeing with the line which the Indian member used, was even worse then Pakistan going again for US F-16s, pathetic.
It's not quite as simple as that, some US Do Da announced few weeks earlier that Pakistan will receive 14 F-16s by June, where as the PAF Chief today announced that US has agreed to supply further 14 F-16s to Pakistan, (where as) the delivery of new Block-52s will commence from June and completed by December this year.Theses F16s x 14 ARE NOTHING more than the REMAINING 14 frm the TOKEN ORDER OF 18 F16/52s ordered around 2 yeasrs ago.
USA promised delivery of 18 F16s by 2011.
The story has been TAKEN completely out of context LIKE some big KID at XMAS seeing a neighbour dressed in santa claus outfit SHOUTING " I SAW SANTA"
HAD there been any such new order of 14 fighters then plz ask
1. WHY CANCEL THE ORDER OF 36 asnd half the order after earthquake.
2. Why no offical confirnmationfrom USA or GOP
3. WHY NO STATEMENT AT THIS WEEKS official strategic dialogue meeting/.
You people go so excited and ADD 2 + 2 makes 50
its sounds DESPERATE and funny sometimes

We want Nuclear and Free Trade deals from United States. We did not get them. What we got was 14 used F-16s in other just "peanuts". In larger scheme of things 14 F-16 does not matter. We need 62 more F-16 block 60. In 1979, the Soviets invaded Afghanistan, and President Carter offered Pakistan $325 million in aid over three years. Zia rejected this as "peanuts."
